The principle is not organized. The last PTO meetting was a joke. The School is a Title 1 school. The place could use some TLC, but that doesn't matter to them. Alot of the Teachers are new. Having a new teacher the 1st 2 years didn't help my kid. With a good leader I think the school could go

This school has been a great disappointment to me. The slogan 'No child is left behind' isn't true as stated by my childs teacher. Telling us that there are children who she isn't going to hold back because she doesn't think it will help them, instead lets send them on so they can continue to struggle.

Children who have special needs in speech and reading and other area have to share their time with others. They've gotten alot of new teachers who don't have much experience and the older teachers wo really seem like they don't need to teach anymore, plus they talk very harsh to the children and the majority of the staff is very rude. This could be a great school with different leadership I believe. Read less
